need sound card help bad

hello. the other day my microphone input just went dead. vent wouldnt pick up my microphone at all, it would just tell me absolute zero. so i decided to get a sound card. its the sound blaster audigy se. i am still having the same exact problem. its not the headset because i've tried this headset on a differnet computer and the microphone picks up perfect. when i do windows test it doesnt even pick up a sound at all. i have no idea and this is really frustrating. i am pretty sure that everything is set to the right settings, i have been messeing around with this for a few days now.. any help would be very appreciated.. thanks

yeah

man.. i tried that exact order you just said. didnt change a thing...in the test thing in windows where it is supposed to see if your mic can pick up sound, it doesnt even pick up anything...im getting really bummed out now

jfresh, man o man, sounds like the same troubles a teamer of mine is having, we use ts and i went through every sound song and dance u can think of and come up with nadda....i had him go into his properties and its not even showing a column for his microphone,,,the audio, video props show his sigmatel audio. now he can hear us on teamspeak, but he cant talk back to us,,,its making me nutz!!! if you find a solution to your troubles, or mine, lol...i would greatly appreciate the input/solution to my homiez troubles thanks a bunch! **RAZ**aZOOMIN '71
